Hockey East Semis Set
Notre Dame's first season in Hockey East was nothing special - until the Irish knocked top seed Boston College out of the tournament Sunday afternoon. A 4-2 win and a two games to one win in the series.
That makes UMass Lowell the top seed remaining among the four teams headed to Boston Garden this week. The Riverhawks will meet Notre Dame in one semi-final.
Providence and New Hampshire will meet in the other semi-final on Friday.
Here's a look at the latest PairWise rankings according to USCHO. Note UMaine is in 23rd place...
